And that can it be

Just heard you sing at Timestamp 2:10:00. You have a very rich tenor voice.

Having missed the first few minutes of Virtual Church last night and catching only the final bars of Thalben-Ball’s Elegy, I’ve just found some time to re-listen to the whole performance of one of the most beautiful (in my opinion) organ pieces ever. I never fail to be moved by it and Richard’s performance was as impressive as ever! It’s always better “live” - as we expect every Sunday evening, but it was a perfect antidote to a rainy Monday!! As always , thanks are due to Richard and Beauty in Sound for some of the best spent hours of each week!

That could even be a wedding March down the isle❤

Thank you for tonight Richard, and in particular for playing my golden Wedding hymn choice.

Wonderful VC. This version of Rotterdam was awesome.

Thank you Richard! It was beautiful as always!!

Where can I find this new version of the organ ?

Where do we find the extended version?

Phoenix, AZ, USA, coffee

When Hugo and Charlotte get older, will you or Caroline be giving them piano lessons or with you have someone teach them?

Bells and whistle? No - whistles (flutes, strings, etc. ) and buzzers reeds). Insert happy face here

Have you ever played the organ at the Laurenskerk in Rotterdam, the real one?
